I've been trying to bring CNEWS up on our central news server ( a DecStation 3100 running Ultrix 3.1 ) for the last few days. It's sory of funny, It *almost* works. I can successfully pass articles along downstream, but receiving articles from one of my upstream contacts is a hit/miss proposition. We're on the internet, and use nntp to download articles from our upstream servers. I have a question about configuring nntp 1.5.10 for this. I plan on using the DBZ code that comes with CNEWS. In common/conf.h, should I #define both DBM and DBZ, or only DBZ ? If I #define DBM *and* DBZ, should I also have -ldbm as a linker flag? The code seems to to say #deefine both, and omit -ldbm (include /usr/lib/dbz.o instead), but at this stage I'm not too sure as to what works and what doesn't Any other suggestions/things to look out for peculiar to the 3100?? Thanx a mill in advance **********************MVS???
